No problem man.
thank you zionfarm for uploading my pics , much appreciated . The cable and bracket I fabed were to make the e brake work , clevices from mc master carr (50.00 for both ) and elongating the stock glc brackets (2 1/4 on the passenger side and 4" on the driver side )really easy to do took about 2 hrs. And here is a pic of the camber/caster plates for an rx7 I popped in .Also a pic of the engine bay ready for the 12a and the dash on the above post was a cracked and destroyed sport dash that I fiber glass repaired , I plan on painting it wood grain ;pics to follow

Made my motor mount today , had to drop the motor pretty low .I used a rx7 mount and modified it . Thats a plus because that motor was setting pretty high . Also put the clutch master in pretty easy just drilled a new hole under the pivot point and bent the rod slightly .

Ok , it's been a while .I moved the cross member mounts forward to shorten up the cross member extension ( it had to much deflection ) . The shifter on the 83 fb was really short so I grafted the fb ball and the glc shifter . Lastly I fit the rx2 radiator , I sweat the tank brackets off the glc rad and put them on the rx2 rad to make it easer to mount . The exhaust is almost done and pics will follow and the one thing I have not read on any other thread is about pinion angle . The 12a down in the front and trans shimmed up in the rear points 5 1/2 degrees down my pinion is up 1 1/2 degrees( that leaves 4 degrees to go ) . I came up with a 40.00 way to adjust the angle up and pics will also follow

no fun
kind of getting burned out because the end is near , here is what I have been working on the last two days :I mounted the radiator and oil cooler , I angled the oil cooler back and made a funky bracket (don't know if its gonna stay ) adapted an electric fan and shroud and rebuilt and mounted the carb .

Well here are some pics of the battery in the rear , I ran the cable in the drivers quarter panel and through the drivers lower rocker . I used a thick plastic wrap around the Pos. cable and grommets for all the holes . I also used a battery bulk head to pass the power through the fire wall . I used a disconnect in the rear for the battery , I didn't want to put it outside the car and make it attract attention . I plan on putting a 50 amp marine breaker next to the battery for protection .

Hey Matt,
small word, I found your thread.
Just a small suggestion, I fitted a extra anti-rollbar to my GLC, and it does make a huge difference. I used a rollbar from another GLC, and cut the ends that fits into the lower control arms off, and mounted it below the existing rollbar.
Keep up the build, I love this car.
